March construction: College Place High School

What: The new College Place High School is being built in a five-phase project.

Details: “We’re building 60,000-square-feet between the Sager building (formerly Meadowbrook) and the old Sager gym,” said College Place School District Superintendent Tim Payne.

The school will include a new gym, band and choir rooms, special education, life skills, food service, library/media room, commons, a stage, student stores and concessions, high school administration office, classrooms, science labs and a TV studio in the new section. The Sager gym will be remodeled.

“The carpet is coming out, there will be a new gym floor, a wood floor going in, and new bleachers. Everybody is asking about the carpet coming out,” Payne said.

The complex will also include four tennis courts, a bus area, maintenance building, a football field with rubberized track and new baseball and softball fields.

Timeline: Ground was broken in November 2013. The whole project is expected to be completed by December 2015.

“We’re doing a lot of earthwork right now,” Payne said — infrastructure, foundations and footings.

General contractor: Leone & Keeble Inc. of Spokane.

Project manager: CSG Construction Management Group of Pasco

Architect: Architects West of Coeur d’Alene

Permitted cost: A bond was passed in 2012 for $38.5 million to construct the high school and the new Davis Elementary School as well as renovate Meadowbrook.

“We are getting a ton done for the money,” Payne said. “We’re doing exactly what we said we would do. Our school board has done an exceptional job and continues to work tirelessly.”
